    As someone who discovered Warren Zevon in literally his last month alive, I can absolutely appreciate this cover. It is amazing. Thanks for this song. Maybe I'll write a script based on this song... It's such a great story. Well, if I do you'll get a call.

      I think you could make a really great script out of Roland The headless Thompson Gunner. This song tells the captivating story. If a movie followed the spirit of the song and avoided revisionist history and trying to send some deep social message, it could be something special.
